LOVE LETTERS - laugh-out-loud lines and an ending that will squeeze tears out of all but the stoniest hearts…compelling…pleasant.

TRI-STATE ACTORS THEATER will present LOVE LETTERS by A.R. Gurney in a benefit performance for the Theater Company and the Performing Arts Center at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 15 in the Performing Arts Center theater at SCCC, Newton. All seats are $20.00.

LOVE LETTERS, performed by the incomparable actress MaryAnn Hay as Melissa and Paul Meacham, Tri-State’s Artistic Director as Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, is a unique and imaginative theatre piece that is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down. Both performers are members of Actors Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers.

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years. While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.

Tickets for the performance are available on-line at www.tristateactorstheater.org or sussex.edu - click on Box Office, or by calling Tri-State at 973 383-0510. Large print programs, accessible parking, wheelchair access and elevator service are available for patrons with special needs.

The Bergen County Players (BCP) of Oradell will conclude its 80th mainstage season with the final three performances of Marc Camoletti's Tony Award-winning acclaimed non-stop farce Boeing Boeing, directed by Alyson Cohn. The final three shows will take place at the Little Firehouse Theatre on Kinderkamack Road in Oradell on May 31 and June 1 at 8:00 PM and on June 2nd at 2:00 PM.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.bcplayers.org, by calling 201-261-4200 or by visiting the box office at 298 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell during regular box office hours.

Set in the swinging '60s, Boeing Boeing is the hilarious tale of Bernard (Larry Kadish of New Milford), a high-flying lothario who deftly juggles a trio of flight attendant fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent "layovers." They are the Italian hostess Gabriella (Shiva Kiani of Newark), the German hostess Gretchen (Sky Spiegel of Morristown), and the American hostess Gloria (Allyson Stevenson of Westwood). With a complex system based upon their flight schedules and some assistance from his disapproving housekeeper (Paula O'Brien of Park Ridge), Bernard's carefully constructed timetable runs like clockwork until a new, faster Boeing jet goes into service.

Bernard's supersonic lifestyle hits turbulence when his friend Robert (Dale Monroe of Morristown) comes to stay and the unexpected schedule changes bring all three women to his apartment at the same time. Bernard's intricate ruse unravels in one wild, door-slamming night of comic mayhem.
